The little blue water droplets on his feet wearing orange-red boots kept bouncing, where was he going?
Why is it floating in the sky all of a sudden and falling to the ground all of a sudden? All of a sudden snuggle up on the puppy, all of a sudden fall into the sea and swim with the fish? Follow the little water droplets and take a big trip around the world!
The sky is cloudy and it's raining! This is great because we need water. After the water droplets fall, they will slowly flow underground, and finally collect and flow into lakes, underground passages and groundwater layers. In nature, water exists in various forms: when it encounters sunlight, it turns into water vapor; on cool nights, it condenses into dew; near glaciers, it turns into flakes of snow… Water will come and go in liquid or gas form, between the ocean and the sky, between the forest, the pond, the rain and the clouds.

腳上穿著橙紅色靴子的藍色小水滴，不停蹦蹦跳跳著，他要去哪裡呢？
怎麼一下子飄在高空，一下子降到地底？一下子依偎在小狗身上，一下子落在海裡與魚群游？
快跟著小水滴，來一趟環遊世界的大旅行！
一陣冷風吹來，嗬！一顆小水滴從雲端滴落，接著，千千萬萬的雨滴也從同樣的地方落下：下雨了！這是一場來得快也去得快的陣雨，還是會把我們都淋成落湯雞的傾盆大雨？你是否已經穿上雨衣了呢？
天空烏雲密布，下雨了！ 這真是太好了，因為我們需要水。水滴降下後，在地底下，會慢慢流動，最後聚集、流入湖泊、地下道及地下水層中。在大自然，水以各種不同的形式存在：遇到陽光，它會變成水蒸氣；在涼爽的夜晚，它會凝結成露水；在鄰近冰河處，它會變成片片雪花……。水會以液態或氣態的形式，在海洋與天空之間，森林、池塘、雨與雲朵之間，不停的來來去去，這就是水的循環，也是小水滴環遊世界的大旅行！
書後並有〈環境小筆記〉──有關「水循環」的更多補充說明，內容扼要且條理分明，為共讀前後提供了基本的背景知識與進一步了解探索的素材。
這本書構築了非常完整的全景，讓孩子更加清楚水循環的過程──俏皮且充滿詩意的文字，讓孩子更確切了解水何去何從、誰會使用它、它的好處為何……；由拼貼構成的美麗畫面，則以穿上橙紅色靴子的小水滴，來帶出水的各種狀態轉換。圖、文搭配和諧，鋪陳出兼具知性學習又輕鬆愉悅的閱讀氛圍。
